In Walt Disney Studios'
epic Pearl Harbor, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael
Bay stage a tale of love and valor against the backdrop of World War II
and the infamous Japanese air attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet that spelled
the end of the country's isolationist doctrine. Depictions of the
assault, along with earlier reenactments of air battles over Britain and
the retaliatory Doolittle raid on Tokyo, were achieved through extensive
use of digital battleships and planes -- compliments of Industrial
Light & Magic -- in combination with large-scale mechanical and
pyrotechnic effects by John Frazier and his crew. Stan
Winston Studio contributed makeup effects.

Echoing the sensibilities
of his earlier comedy hit Ghostbusters, director Ivan Reitman's
newest film, Evolution, has scientists battling aliens after a meteor
crashes into the Arizona desert, releasing minute extraterrestrial lifeforms
that vaguely attempt to mimic earth's evolutionary cycle. Phil
Tippett and his Tippett
Studio artists designed and created, through digital character animation,
much of the continuously metamorphosing extraterrestrial ecology, from
single-cell microorganisms to complex air and land creatures. Also
in the mix were digital effects by Pacific
Data Images and practical creature work by KNB
EFX Group and Amalgamated
Dynamics.
